Voters had to ratify the Thirteenth Amendment, and state constitutions had to ban slavery.

To regain membership in the Union, states were required to repeal their secession ordinances, ratify the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments, and hold conventions to create new state constitutions that included provisions for black suffrage. Johnson's approach was lenient, leading to criticism from other lawmakers. By 1866, he declared that all former Confederate states had met these requirements.
